Even back in the 'real' world this would be something nice, something to be happy about. Here, where they've got so little that's normal, so little that's good, this is worth being giddy about. Matt is equally as enamored with it. He can't stop grinning and this is something he would love to do every night. This makes their relationship seem more real, more solid and more functional in some way. This is what the every day of a relationship is supposed to be, or at least he thinks it is. He doesn't remember his parents being this way, but then he barely remembers his mother. He certainly doesn't hold his parents relationship up as anything he wants to emulate.

Not stupid at all. The gratitude he feels for being able to have this simple moment, and for Lydia spearheading it, wells up in him and for just a little while, he's glad he's here. It won't last (due to no fault of Lydia's) so he's going to enjoy it while he can.

"I'll be happy to be a tester even before you think it's up to beta testing. I'd rather you ruin my hair than yours," he tells her. "You'll get there though." It's obvious he thinks Lydia is brilliant and he's so proud of her. He takes a bite of his steak, allowing the taste of it to distract him from her question for just a moment. "Lydia, this is fantastic. If I gave any indication I didn't want you to do this every night, I take it back." He says it a little teasingly, but he does mean it.

"The office was good. I think I made a favorable impression on the judge, but she won't make a decision until tomorrow."
